In "The Quantum Universe," Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the
world of quantum mechanics in the same way they did in "Why Does
E=mc2?" and make fundamental scientific principles accessible--and
fascinating--to everyone.
The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any
number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern
mysticism, and woolly pronouncements on the interconnectedness of
all things. Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for
quantum mechanics to be viewed this way. There is a lot of mileage
in the "weirdness" of the quantum world, and it often leads to
confusion and, frankly, bad science. "The Quantum Universe" cuts
through the Wu Li and asks what observations of the natural world
made it necessary, how it was constructed, and why we are confident
that, for all its apparent strangeness, it is a good theory.
The quantum mechanics of "The Quantum Universe" provide a
concrete model of nature that is comparable in its essence to
Newton's laws of motion, Maxwell's theory of electricity and
magnetism, and Einstein's theory of relativity.
